Carpet Care Tips

• Keep walkways and entries clean. Sweep, blow, vacuum or rinse soil away from all entry ways often.

• Use walk-off mats at all entrances. This will prevent dirt from being tracked inside and soiling carpets and rugs. 

• Vacuum at least twice weekly in high-traffic areas and weekly in all other areas to remove dust and carpet damaging particles.

• Use high quality vacuum equipment with high efficiency filter bags. Replace filter bags when 2/3 full for best results.

• Treat spills immediately using a mild cleaning solution. Test it in an inconspicuous spot to ensure that discoloration does not occur.

• After treating spills with a mild solution, gently blot with a clean, white cloth. Rubbing may cause damage to the carpet fibers. Continue blotting until the spill is removed or until no more color is transferred to the cloth.

• Rinse away all cleaning agents. Mist the carpet with plain water to remove the cleaning agents. This will prevent discoloration or rapid soiling.

• Have carpet professionally cleaned every 6 months to keep your carpet warranty valid.

• Light-colored carpet may require even more frequent professional cleanings.
